  • This piece/transcription seems too difficult for Solo Guitar playing. Needs special time to practice. Don't give up, Solo Guitar Repertoire adapted any kind of Music from everywhere.

  • Chuck norris taught him how to play. Almost.

  • You get a clue on how hard this is, (and how talented this artist) by trying to find it done without synth.

    Awsome. Very nice work. Thank you very much.

  • no matter how good you are

    there will always be an asian which is better than you

  • @Shapir00 Very original.

  • what the fudge is up with his head moving back and forth like those dolls that you put in your car that bob their head? 2:31

  • Is he tiny or is the guitar huge?

  • @RabidEasterBunny Its the classical style of holding the guitar, it brings the guitar closer to ur chest

  • se equivoca en las partes fáciles jajajajaja

  • @chopinzone no creo que puedas hacerlo mejor... es una pieza dificil, dado la cuenta que la guitarra no tiene todas las octavas que tiene un piano.. o mas bien un organo para la cual fue compuesta la pieza...

  • Comment removed

  • @ed505 lo sé,, pero con la practica todo se puede

  • @chopinzone es cierto!!.. he visto tu canal.. y tamben tocas bien!..

  • idolo lol

  • awesome!

  • dont like his playing.....

  • @6stringhawk he plays it very ''dirty'' xD

  • i just can't seem to understand why some people are so narrow minded as to think some pieces are only meant to be played on certain instruments. isn't music about being creative and different ?

    and what about the whole "emotion" thing? i never understood what you guys are bitching about. some people just don't express as much as others, but anyway this master does.

    so please, cut the crap. or at least bring some rational arguments

  • hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!why everybody is laughing at the beginning?????:(

  • a lot of mistaking in performance

  • @ratanapruk Hazlo tu mejor.

  • @sauulrock  ??

  • nice

  • Bach would probably bow to this guy, if he watched this video...

  • this asian dude has fucking soul man!

  • WOW, nice, very nice, congratulations you have played one of the most important piece in the history's music. I don't know what to say, it's amazing.

  • I wonder if he visualizes the noted in his mind? I would love to play like that.

  • 59 trolls

  • why when i search some guitarist in youtube,"Lianto Tjahjoputro" this name will appear also?

  • @nhsham28 Because he tagged nearly all the famous guitarist's name in his videos. This is why I find this guy pathetic.

  • @TheIrishvid just because of that ? im speechless, really, i dont know what to say -.-

  • 2:30

  • i was sooo impressed, and so relieved ( i used to think guitar limitated one's own creativity/talent/whatever ) by this performance, that i was about to shed some tears :) truly incredible, this guy.

    who could ever dislike this?! use ur brain dudes, take a look at the music sheet of this piece! see all those ants this man played on a piece of wood with strings ( i dont mean guitars suck, its just their simpler construction ), this piece was intended to be played on an organ!

  • @C4theWin

    those who dislike this video, dont know how difficult this master piece especially played in...guitar...nylon string...

    he is maestro.

  • @davetsu77 If it's too difficult don't play it. The argument of difficulty is bad. Good prestation, but this piece is just too difficult for guitar whoever you are. You can play the notes, but the music is something else. Would rather play it in duo or trio.

  • @HTBLH dont worry i'm not an expert musician like you, so i dont play it.

    strange guy hahahaha. you wrote "The argument of difficulty is bad" but you still use difficult word "this piece is just too difficult for guitar"

    you're right, this song would rather played in duo or trio.

  • @HTBLH i agree with you. The guitar doesn't give the emotion.

  • crazzzzzzzyyyyyyyyy

  • maaaaan!!! the arrangement im trying to play is soooooo much easier...and yet im having huge trouble-.-

  • AMAZING. .!!

    

  • I love the way he enjoys his playing!

  • More stupid redkneck comments. Shouldn't you be watching something more simple like Justin B, teletubbies or sesame street?

  • list of what i did:

    1. Watched this

    2. Smashed my guitar

    3. Lost hope as a musician and cried in a corner for hours

    lol

  • @HankMcSpank69 Oh, come on! Don't loose heart! This should be incentive for you to do better, not throw in the towel!

  • such a beautiful piece of music.... can somebody please kill the shithead in the audience who coughs n sneezes throughout the performance..... grrr :)

  • My fucking God...this guy is sooo....wow....

  • i dont think any of you understand how hard this is.

  • >>>> -.-

  • very good ... this guy reminds me Jaspion

  • amazing!!

  • Hebat dan menakjubkan. Terutama untuk bagian Fugue, dimana fugue tersebut adalah untuk 4 suara dan sulit dimainkan bahkan untuk instrumen aslinya yaitu organ. Selamat atas penampilannya. Congrats.

  • amazing and generous master ! PERHAPS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

  • This is a miracle. Great master.

    from japan

  • che cagata

  • No ps creo que me sale igual! =P

    de todas formas la verdad si esta muy dificil esa rola pero la tocata debió tocarla un poco más lento para que se capte bien el sentimiento..

    no dejo de admirar este video...

  • I realy like this video. He is excellent guitar player and I admire him, but I think speed is not everything... Sometimes he plays it slow and It's I think better for this music.. I'm not enjoying the fast parts as much as the slow... It just my opinion and I don't mean it offensively. :)

  • @Alesek0123 I agree, I think he's played some of the parts faster than necessary; but I notice that happens to me when I get nervous, soooo... do you think he may just be a little nervous?

  • @ds7202 Maybe, or he just wanted to show how fast he can play :)

  • Absolutely incredible. Great guitarists. But the cunt who waited to clear his throat until the sensitive piece @ 2:21 and again at 2:22 should have been taken outside and shot. Bach was a great motivator and many presume the original creator of modern Metal.

  • Well Bach was all for innovation and improvisation, Kudos...

  • it's a great impression!!!!

  • Magnificent!

  • i'm trying to learn this song on my guitar and after 6 hours only 2 fingers from 10 are alive

  • @BenMurrie another narrow minded American, i take you for..

  • EPIC FACEEEE!!!!!

  • BALLSY!!!

  • Out of all the classical guitarists I've seen, this guy's quite the character. AND can play really well!

  • Hey man, do you have the transcription of this?

  • Hey man, do you have the transcription of this?

  • That's not the point. I can't sing opera but I have enough musical education to know when someone's singing flat.

  • It's OK. He rushes through too many phrases and is sloppy too many times.

    Sorry. I can't agree with the herd.

  • @lohphat vid of u doing the same :P

  • @lohphat show me ur non sloppy version :)

  • @lohphat Flamenco guitar is supposed to be fast. I give him credit for his unique arrangement. Plus he is an excellent flamenco guitarist.

  • Lianto, did you transcribe this for the guitar? This is awesome!

  • 47 people dont know how to play guitar

  • This piece of music is very difficult to play on a pipe organ,and to play on a guitar,it is phenomenal!!!,Thank Lianto

  • from Jose, again......If anybody is wondering, my friend John says Phillip Hii transcribed this widowmaker, so if you're feeling suicidal and want to try this, Phillip's transcription is what you want. That is the arrangement that Lianto is playing in the video. As for me, my technique ain't up tp this....don't get me wrong, I'm feeling this but I know I'm not ready. Keep on shreaddin', Lianto. Your buddy, Jose

  • from Jose Sepulveda......checking out my friend Lianto again on the Toccata and Fugue in D minor. He owns that thing, Lianto is a terror! Unbelievably fluid and sure, he just grabs hold of it and finesses it into submission. I've never seen the transcription but I HAVE seen the organ version and let me tell you this......that thing is a nightmare in ANY form! My friend John Osmer is currently working on this terrible but incredibly beautiful thing and he says it's a monster! Lianto rocks!

  • from Jose Sepulveda.......Madre De Dios!

  • @Hermeterec this guy is a beast hah a

  • It's godlike !

  • i really like his face when he's playing ! you can see he enjoys playing this ! :)

  • casi lloro

  • And i thought it was only meant for organ - really impressive

  • his left hand looks like flying

  • I don't even wanna look at the music score on this piece.

  • BRILLIANT!

    COFF! COFF! AT 2:23 AWESOME TOO

  • i really cant see how he plays the high parts at about 1 minute and 3 seconds in i suppose....i can play everything up to that point...but my guitar body starts at the twelth fret as does his..but he rips it flawlessly

  • Just fantastic.

  • he's asian...after all...

  • epic playing !

  • Brilliant...

  • wow! i thought that the part in 4:53 is impossible to play on guitar

  • bravissimo!!!

  • absolutely beautiful...completely talented

  • cant understand how a piece of shit as justin bieber is more famous than this incredible guy :O

  • @Xoorus3392 Well said Man!

  • @Xoorus3392 Public image... unfortunately ;)

  • @Xoorus3392

    Year this is a real artist, musician...

  • @Xoorus3392

    There is money to be made out of him. Well, way more than from this guys.

  • @Xoorus3392 I'll explain how the music industry works in a few short sentences. Firstly, the music industry is a business just like any other business. Secondly, Justin Bieber is a product not an actual creative artist. Thirdly, Bieber is promoted like a product/brand ie coca cola or Maple Syrup. Bieber's style which he has no say in is marketed towards teenagers through MTV etc. The bottom line is, talent doesn't influence the music business. Music & business should never mix.

  • @Xoorus3392 because stupid people like you keep talking about him in every goddamn youtube video. serously just ignore him, hes not even worth mentioning

  • @Xoorus3392 That's easy dear friend... that is because in this days people like SHIT, and the ALSO PAY for see/hear that shit.

  • Very nice I love it!

  • The fact that some people actually dislike this performance has made me realize this: Youtube comments are completely worthless and should be ignored by all real musicians.

  • @gtralisfr69 They dislike it because they're tiny brained little people who know that they will never be able to play like this in a million years, and so it makes them feel angry and frustrated to watch it.

  • @gtralisfr69 I know 1 thing, I'm watching this guy and his fingering is "crazy" that is some insane stuff. My first reaction was "oh my god". I aspire to be like this guy all the way. Another thought. 90 percent of the world don't even have a clue, and probably never will. I was getting ready to type "He's like in some sort of meditative trance" then I look down to see somebody's video response PANCASILA meditation w/ guitar. guess where I'm going next?

  • @gtralisfr69 I agree with you to an extent. I am a classical guitarist as well and while i would not be able to do this, i do know that this guy is very sloppy and seems to me as though as long as he can play it fast he doesnt mind buzzed notes and sloppy rubato. dont get me wrong, he is an extremely talented guitarist, but some of the arrangements he does for certain peices are just awful. some of what he does is great, but others are simply bad.

  • @jacobcs I'd fear for the guy if he had to perform this in front of Segovia. I agree it's very messy, but also a monster of a piece. I can't say I'd do much better.

  • @Aurelius27x yeah i agree. i just feel like he should choose his rep more appropriatley ya know?

  • @jacobcs Sloppy? Do I want my musicians to sound like machines? No thanks. This guy is perfect, even in his imperfections.

  • @gtralisfr69 why is it not okay for someone to dislike his performance? must everyone have the same opinion as you do?

  • @gtralisfr69 I would say I dislike this version because it sounds much much better on a church organ and frankly I don't see why every composition has to be arranged for the guitar

  • @gtralisfr69 They are

  • completely insane.

  • no man como te pones a dar un concierto con tantos errores

  • не понравилось, вообще кульминацию не доводит до конца...

  • This is really special and wonderfully played ! thank you ! favorit !

  • muchas voces para una guitarra

    too many vioces for guitar

  • beautiful he sort of looks like a darkskinned jackie chan

  • good work and verry intersting but I dont think the toccatta is really nice for guitar

  • caraaaaai.... muito bom

  • I'm stunned

    That was AWESOME

  • Very inspiring !

    Thank you for sharing your music!!

    best regards,

    Wolfgang

  • Beautiful interpretation! I play over this transcription whenever I need a lesson in humility! Your performances are inspirational - thanks!

  • people like him make me take a guitar and play it all dammt night, but it's so difficult and he make it so easy ....................

  • OMFG I cant believe that is is possible to play this on a classic guitar but here comes a denial XD

  • Fantastic! Very very good work!

  • Grotesque. This is just technical ability, and even then just in the left hand.

  • Someone's opening a candy?

  • That was awesome O_O

  • Do the Guitar Duel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • virtuoso. i love it i love it.

  • The guy knows the notes but not the feeling.

  • @Benj888

    If you can't feel the emotion that this guy is portraying then you don't deserve to listen to this performance.

  • a guy starts hacking and coughing through the middle of it

  • You should play the BWV 542 :D

  • dude r u freakin serious! love your left hand movement, you're all over the neck!!

  • Lianto, I am speechless you are truly Indonesia's gitaris treasure. In my personal opinion John Williams is to England .....what Lianto Tjahjoputro is to Indonesia. !!

  • sangat luar biasa sekali permainan gitarnya !! dan sangat menjiwai... kulo salut dateng njenengan mas...

  • Excelente interpretación!

  • hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahah­ahahha so bad

  • beautiful!!!

  • LOUD COUGH

  • Wow! what an amazing transcription of what is a VERY difficult piece, even on Organ!

    Is it your own transcription?

  • i sing and play guitar/paino.... my favourte genre of music is definatelly metal.... but i adore classical music and this is done magnificently. Truly inspirational

  • 100% on Expert!

  • damn, how is this possible!

  • awesome playing man :D

  • what  happen in 6:06

  • @Djole0 some fail.. but still the epic to fail ratio is still worthy

  • besides 3.58 best face expression ever :)

  • i like his playing

    besindes

    this the only youtube video that shows this piece on guitar

    so

    this is the best version on youtube

  • the fugue isnt very good here.....

  • There is no interpretation of bach.

    To hard for guitar

  • i am dreaming

  • Not perfect but very very good, and very very hard the memorizing alone..Very high tempo definatly topclass. Nice to hear outstanding peformers can make smal errors to! And i also try just to get close..My written APPLAUS

  • If I was wearing a hat, I would take it off to you. I cannot imagine how long it took to learn that piece but I can see how connected you are with your instrument. Excellent! Well done! Thank you!

  • abang lianto emang hebat ya! salah satu gitaris klasik hebat indonesia, saya juga mulai belajar lagu tocatta susahnya setengah mati tapi abang kayak yang ringan ya ngebawainnya emang hebat udah kalo master mah!

  • 28 dislikes = 28 frustrated guitarists. This is amazing! This is one guitarist who bows to your skill, sir! Django made me take up jazz, but it's pieces like this and players like you who are leading me into classical. Thank you.

  • Excellent job! Toccata is very hard to play!

  • OMFG :|

  • Maestro! That's feeling.

  • bravo!!!

  • Hidup Indonesia!!!

  • jeje ojala algun día toque asi :D, tocas muy bien jeje

  • Damn that was crazy

  • viejo maquina ... hace poco encontre un arreglo de esta obra para guitarra y se veia horriblemente complicado y dije esto no lo toca nadie.....  estoy impresionado con esta version 5/5!!!

  • bravo!!!!!

  • I wish more people would play the Fugue, really the toccata's just the foreplay, it loosens the crowd up & then BANG! you finish em off with the fugue.

  • @yeild101 if only people knew how to play toccata. I use it to impress friends but fuga is in my oppinion the hardest piece of music to play on the guitar. Bach is in my oppinion the greatest musician to ever live

  • excellent playing :) although I don't really think a classical guitar is suitable for the piece because you really need to be able to sustain the notes which just isn't possible on a classical guitar :/

  • Congratulations, Lianto. That was a beautiful performance. I watched several of your videos and I must tell you that you and your daughter Intan are both great artists.

    Warm regards from Malta,

    Jasmine

    PS: My husband on malpen04 Channel, recommended me your Channel

  • Stupendous!!! Really impressive speed and clarity.

  • I absolutely LOVE this!!!! How hard it must be to create the voices in the Fugue on a guitar! This is my FAVORITE piece of music (of ALL time) and I LOVE how you pay tribute to it! I play it too, but just on my piano/organ. Man...I hate that part in the middle of the fugue where your fingers are tired and you still have 3-4 minutes to go...haha both mentally and physically exhausting. But BRAVO...an HONOR to watch, Mr. Tjahjoputro!

  • love the video...too bad ALL the audio for this guy sucks! I mean the quality on all these video steals from a magnificient performance

  • Maestro Tjahjoputro your are a wonderfully gifted guitarist and a natural performer. If people in Indonesia do not appreciate the jewel that they have, please come to Europe where I assure you, you will gain the appreciation that you so richly deserve! I, for one, would love to see you perform in person. Your fugue is awesome, btw. Kindest Regards, Red x
